Careful Thought

I saw the latest Narnia offering tonight, and have to say that it’s the best action/ adventure/ fantasy flick I’ve seen in quite a long time.  I would rank Prince Caspian at least on par with the Lord of the Rings films, and probably better, in many respects.  It was also a much better film than The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, and it’s even reasonably close to the original story, though the producers took a few artistic liberties. The faith message was pretty clear - there is a time for less ‘doing’ and more faith.

Even Joe Carter at Evangelistic Outpost seemed to appreciate it, and he doesn’t like anything.

Apparently Ridley Scott is going to direct Russell Crowe as the Sheriff of Nottingham in a revisionist Robin Hood film that portrays the sheriff as a noble good guy and Robin Hood as the common thief. It’s about time. The Robin Hood legend of noble thieves who ‘rob the rich to feed the poor’ is crap. I can’t think of a better way to illustrate the liberal welfare state than Robin Hood. The message is simple: you don’t have to work for a living because someone else will feed you. And better yet, he’ll stiff those evil wealthy capitalists to boot.
